TL;DR Summary

Donovan Ray Crowl, one of the first Oath Keepers arrested for his involvement in the January 6 Capitol riot, has been convicted of conspiracy to obstruct the electoral college vote count and civil disorder. However, James D. Beeks, another Oath Keeper charged alongside Crowl, was acquitted of the same charges, becoming the first Oath Keeper to be cleared of all Jan. 6-related charges. Beeks claimed he was unaware of the Oath Keepers' plan and had been "duped" into joining them. Crowl is the latest of over 20 Oath Keepers members and associates to plead guilty or be convicted in connection with the attack.
